Well, first of all this is not generator 3..... We will only have 2 aboard :-) This is the Onan 6.5kw generator that we removed a couple of months ago from the starboard side of the engine. It had been recently inhabited by a pack rat and needed a thorough tune-up. We were not sure that it even ran when we purchased the boat, so we are excited that it works so well.

After the overhaul, being put back into the boat, to be installed just aft of where it was before. We needed to move it there, to allow better access to the engine, and to utilize the keel cooler.

Guiding it into place.

Looking to port from the far aft starboard corner of the salon.

If you look carefully just to the right of the generator, you will see the access hole for the keel cooler. I would also like to point out that Tamer had to use his amazing talent to get this to fit into it's new home. The salon floor had to be modified a bit, and there is not an inch to spare....

Generator 2, a Northern Lights 4 kw, was purchased in Fairbanks, hauled all the way to Hood River, Oregon, and then shipped to West Palm Beach in January. It will serve as our secondary means of generation, and be installed on the deck opposite of the cockpit.

Blayde, managing the tag line while they hauled it up on deck. I sure am impressed by how big that boys muscles are getting :-)

Tamer, my project manager... I could not ask for a better leader for the boys. He does such a good job of teaching the boys when they are doing any task. I recognize that sometimes it might be easier to just 'get the job done'. He goes above and beyond, to take the time needed for them to really understand what they are doing. Thank you love!

Here it is!
